Behnke, Abdulwajid and two girls, ages 15 and 17, drove up to the victim, who was sitting in the passenger of a van while his partner shopped inside the store.
When the victim exited the van and walked toward their car, one of the girls jumped out and started attacking him, according to prosecutors.
If convicted of the charges, both women could face a maximum sentence of six years in state prison.
